This paper investigates measurement error using a German linked survey administrative dataset. By contributing to a small branch of the literature that allows the possibility of erroneous earnings from both sides of a linked survey-administrative dataset, this study provides a replication of two previously proposed versions of a representation of different combinations of (correct and incorrect) survey ...

Stock market participation among working household heads jumped upwards in 2020 – in Germany by about 25%. A major cause is the required use of work from home (WfH). We show this by repeating a benchmark study and adding WfH to the explanatory variables. Moreover, we implement an instrumental variables estimation based on industry-specific levels of WfH-capacity. The transmission channels seem to work ...

The issue evaluated was how cross-cultural cognitive pretests affect the reliability and comparability of data when studying refugees and using cross-language comparisons. Three instruments employed to assess general and health-related quality of life were revised based on the findings of cognitive pretests. The versions before and after cognitive pretests were randomly assigned to respondents in two ...

The Big Five Inventory–15p (BFI-15p) is a relatively new 15-item version developed for Hispanic populations; however, evidence of its cross-cultural equivalence is lacking. This study examined the clarity of item phrasing (Study 1) and measurement invariance (Study 2) in university students from Argentina, Spain, and Peru. Two studies were conducted: one to assess perceived item clarity (n = 70) and ...

This study investigates the link between childbearing and employment changes of female immigrants and their descendants in three European countries: the UK, France, and Germany. Although childbearing significantly influences female labour force participation, the interrelationship between fertility and employment changes among migrant populations is poorly understood. We use event history models to ...

The Covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented changes to business ownership in the UK which affects a generation of entrepreneurs and their employees. Nonetheless, the impact remains poorly understood. This is because research on capital accumulation has typically lacked high-quality, individualized, population-level data. We overcome these barriers to examine who benefits from economic crises through ...

According to behavioral economics, investors’ decisions are influenced by factors beyond rational reasoning, such as an investor's personality. This paper explores the relationships between personality, using the Big Five personality traits framework, and the willingness to invest in assets that contribute to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), more specifically, sustainable finances. ...

Inspired by the literature on social polarisation and residential segregation we draw on a probabilistic approach to pursue the evolution of household location preferences. Using microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the period 1984–2020 we demonstrate that structural economic change was accompanied by an increasing preference for residence in compact housing close to urban centres. ...

Maternal sleep is significantly disrupted in the postpartum period, but changes in paternal sleep are less established. Here, we systematically review and meta-analyze available data on paternal sleep in the first 24months post birth, including self-report and objectively measured sleep outcomes. Scopus, PsycINFO, and PubMed were searched for original research articles published until end August 2024. ...
